Our Story & Our Values

About Us & Corporate

Ahmet Nazari’s passion for the art of silversmithing began at age 12 in Iran, where he started his apprenticeship under a traditional master. Following this intensive five-year period, he began bringing his original designs to life in the workshop he founded himself. Over the course of seven years, he specialized in silver modeling as a master craftsman, taking his craft to a new level.

In 1998, Nazari settled in Turkey to continue his professional development. Seeking to broaden his international perspective, he moved to India, where he established a large-scale production workshop and led a team of 52 artisans. After 12 successful years of global experience, he relocated his operations back to Turkey and resumed his work at his workshop in Fatih, Istanbul.

Today, under the Modernist Bijuteri brand, he continues to produce unique collections based on high-quality craftsmanship alongside his team of experts in the field. Our brand participates in the world’s leading international jewelry and accessories fairs—including those in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the U.S. (Las Vegas)—blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design and maintaining a strong presence in the global market.
